บท 42: The Lady's Grandmother

George squinted his eyes. He became more suspicious of Ethan. How could the young man not know what happened to Marquess Joanna if he had been a son of a noble family for a long time?

However, George had promised himself not to prolong the issue. He forgave Ethan's ignorance and said, "Marquess Joanna is a foreigner from the kingdom of Akiya. Due to the political tension between Akiya and Altara, all foreigners from each country who held high positions were forced to return to their own country. Their noble titles were revoked. Custody of the children from the marriage was handed over to the father. Only servants and commoners were allowed to stay in another country."

Ethan didn't say anything in response. The peace agreement between Akiya and Altara was still fragile. If even a small problem involving nobles from both countries arose, it would cause significant issues involving the governments of both nations.
